About Pentel

Pentel’s name comes from a combination of the words pen and tell, i.e. to tell a story with your pen(cil). The company was founded in 1946 as the Japan Stationery Co., Ltd, and its former president, Yukio Horie, invented the felt-tip pen in the 1960s. While they continue to produce pens and mechanical pencils today, Pentel sadly no longer seems to make wood-cased pencils. Website: www.pentel.co.jp

Got pencils?

I’ve built this pencil collection by trading with people just like you, from all over the world. Do you have any rare or vintage brand name pencils that you’d like to sell or trade, or even just a question about that old pencil you found in your grandfather’s basement? Drop me a pencil!— Bobby
